The Wine Experience with Filipe Mendes
- Item is Closed
Filipe has worked in the food and beverage industry for the last twenty-four years. The most recent years have been spent in the role of Bartender Supervisor and Cellar master at the Lazy-s at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. As a Sommeliere, Filipe prides himself in educating people about wine in a way that empowers them to identify and appreciate nuances in the wines. His business, the Wine Experience, is not just about the wine, it is about the experience, company, and discussion that comes from sharing the moment and the uniqueness of each bottle of wine.
How well do you know your grapes? Five wines, two grapes, and a range of stylistic variations between them. What is meant by “new world” vs “old world” wine? What is the difference between cool and warm regions and how can they affect the flavors in wine? This tasting looks at the role ‘terroir’ plays in adding complexity to wines. Treat yourself to the Wine Experience...
